Title: Manuscript recognition
IPC: G06V30/196
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manuscript recognition, 
and to a manuscript recogniser. The method includes, for cursive 
script recognition, receiving digitised data indicative of manuscript to 
be recognised, processing the digitised data to derive the manu­
script shape in encoded form as a plurality of vector directions, 
determining from the digitised data a respective quantised length for 
each vector direction, deriving an encoded vector string indicative of 
the vector directions and their lengths, comparing sub-string 
segments of the encoded vector string with stored encoded data 
representative of ligature shapes and selecting identified sub-string 
segments indicative of possible ligature shapes, combining each 
identified sub-string segment with immediately adjacent sub-string 
segments in the encoded vector string to derive longer sub-string 
segments and determining the quantised length of a sub-string as a 
proportional length of a total length of the sub-string defined by the 
manuscript shape. Each of the longer sub-string segments are 
compared with stored encoded data representative of character 
shapes to identify possible matching character shapes, and a letter 
net is derived indicative of possible character routes through the 
encoded vector string. The combination of characters in each 
character route is then compared with known combinations of stored 
characters to identify the script.

Title: Self-adapting vertical scan circuit for raster-scanned cathode ray tube displays
IPC: G09G1/16
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: A vertical scan circuit for a display is described which allows 
automatic picture height and centering. The deflection voltages at the 
start and end of active video time, are stored by capacitors fed via 
switches activated by signal pulses. These stored voltages are compared 
to margin reference voltages Vtmref and Vbmref which correspond to the 
desired top and bottom of the picture as displayed for a particular 
monitor. The maximum deflection voltage on flyback (Vmax) and the slope 
of the signal (dv/dt) are adjusted so that the top margin voltage (Vtm) 
and the bottom margin voltage (Vbm), bear desired relationships to 
these reference voltages (Vtmref and Vbmref respectively), thus 
ensuring that the top and bottom of the picture as displayed remains 
constant for different screen formats.

IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 1996-07-16
Abstract: An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a
plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof. A
boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and
a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average
value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the
respective reference pixel values with the average value,
detects a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the
reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a
pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the
detected boundary. An adaptive predictor calculates a
prediction value by performing a calculation based on a
function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the
reference pixels. A prediction difference calculating unit
determines a difference value between the prediction value and
a value of the target encoding pixel. A prediction coincidence
determining unit compares the prediction value and the target
encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a
binary signal. A context generator generates a context based
on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the
prediction difference calculating unit. An arithmetic encoder
encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.

Abstract: Embedding one or a plurality of wireless switches into a switching
system. The wireless switches are both physically and logically integrated into the
switching system. The switching system performs the complex switching
operations. Physically, each wireless switch emulates link interfaces in its
connections to the switching system's communications control and data media.
Logically, each of the wireless switch units communicates with a control processor
controlling the operations of the switching system as if each of the wireless switches
was a set of individual station sets. Each wireless switch is assigned a set of wireless
sets. Each of the wireless sets has a unique telephone number which the control
processor of the switching system identifies with a physical position on the
communication media. Upon receipt of an incoming call for a particular wireless
set, the control processor directs the voice and control information of the call to the
wireless switch that is emulating what the control processor believes is a station set
attached to the switching system. If the wireless set is registered on a base station
attached to the assigned wireless switch, then the call is completed via the assigned
wireless switch and the base station with the wireless switch directly handling the
communication between the wireless set and the control processor. If the wireless
set is registered on a base station connected to another wireless switch other than the
assigned wireless switch, the assigned wireless switch receives the call control
information from the control processor communicates this information to the other
wireless switch. The assigned wireless switch then continues to relay all control
information being exchanged between the control processor and the other wireless
switch.
